I'd sign Elliott for a 2 or 3 year deal and have Gillies back him up. Hopefully Gillies takes over after year 2. Gillies strikes me as a competitor and I'd love to have him learn in the pros.
It's not about his one game either, it's because I think it's the best for his development. He can get 30 games in the NHL. If he sucks early, move on and a backup will be easy to find next season.
